aguinaldo working hard
Trying to Put Heart in His Disorgan
ized and Discouraged Followers.
Manila, Feb- 14—Aguinaldo is do
ing everything in bia power to give
heart to bis disorganized and dis
heartened followers. During the past
wetk he has been personally visiting
hi* troops, seeking to encourage them
by magnifying the American losses
and minimizing those of the Filipinos.
He declares he merely withdrew hie
forces so as to lead the Americans
into an ambuscade, and annihilate
them. Many of bis followers, how
ever, in view of the week’s events, are
dubious about the practicability ol
wiping out the American army-
Aguinaldo is taking extrodinary
precaution to prevent being captured.
He has turned the command ol his
army over to Genera! Luna and will
himself keep out of the reach of the
Americans. Luna is tbs author of
nearly all the belicose articles which
have appeared in the insurgent papers.
—Rebel headquarters have b en estab
listed at Polio. The truth concerning
the serious defeat the rebels have sus
tained is just commencing to be
whispered io Malolos and at other
Filipino towns. The leaders first an
nounced that 3,000 Americans were
killed and wounded, among them Ma
jor General Otis.
The forces under General Miller
captured the city of Iloilo Saturday.
None of the Americans were injured.
The rebels offend only a slight resis
tance, and withdrew after setting fire
to the native portion of the town. A
few of the insurgents were wounded.
Fruit Injured-
Several of the leading fruit growers
of this section stated yesterday that
the crop was badly damaged by the
freezes last Sunday and Monday,
although some are hopeful that we
will have a small crop of peaches.
Mr. H W. Hasselkus aaye it will
take a few days of warm weather to
determine the full extent ol the in
jury He is of the opinion that a
great deal of the fruit not far
enough advanced to be injured, and is
confident Spalding county will have
peaches to ship next summer.
Horticulturist Quaintance, of the
Georgia Experiment Station, does not
make as encouraging a report. It is
his opinion that the peach and plum
crops will be a complete failure, and
the trees that bear fruit will be rare
indeed.
On account of the continuous rains,
very little garden truck had been
planted, otherwise the loss to truck
farmers would have been heavy.
The weather moderated considera
bly yesterday, and the enow melted
rapidly.
A Good Company-
Monday night was a most disagreea
ble one and calculated to keep every
body in doors around their own fires,
but those who did venture out to the
opera house feel they were more than
repaid in the splendid rendition by
the Andrews Opera Co , of that beauti
ful and pleasing opera, “Martha ”
Miss Myrta French, as Martha-, was
quite a success and with that clear
sweet voice sang “The Last Rose of
Summer,'' which alone Was declared
to be worth the plice of admission.
Mr. F. W Walters as Lionel, did his
part to perfection, and many neat
compliments were whispered through
out the performance by the most ap
preciated audience tver before seen at
the Olympic, of the enure company
Had the weather been mere fovora
ble a large audience would have greet
ed them here
It is hoped they will play in our
city again some day, when we can
ns-ure them of a large ami most ap
preciative audience

ALGER MAKES THREAT
Volunteers Now in Field Will be Held
Until Army Bill Passes
New York Feb 14.—Speaking at
the Brooklyn Union League club’s
Lincoln day banquet last night, Sec
retary of War A'ger said that few men
could realize, unless they eat down
and looked over the work, what a task
it was to gather a quarter ol a million
men from all over the country, atm
and equip them, tent them, transport
them and make camps for them ;
transport 50,000 of them to points
10,000 miles apart, fight battles and
close up the war in 113 days
“When the great call rang out on
the 23rd of April,” said General Alger,
“thousands of men offered themselves
from over the country. A quarter of
a million were taken, and for
what they have done they have
no apologies to make to the
world. They have filled their places
as American soldiers and they are
now talking tonight at Manila better
than I can talk for them. They are
acquitting themselves as American
soldiers.
“Os that 250,000 men who came in
May and June, 150,000 have returned
to their homes and are now pursuing
the peaceful walks of life, 125,000 now
remain, and we hope that soon we
shall have an army bill such as is fit*
ting for this mighty country, that we
can relieve these soldiers and put men
ip their places willing to serve as sol*
diers II that is denied us, I want to
pledge you .hat the men on the field,
though their time may be up, will
never be released ’’
California Pearl Fishing.
The pearl fisheries of the Gulf cl
California are interesting and much
lees well known than thpir interest
warrants A recent visitor to the Gulf
coast, which Cortez was first among
white men to visit, says that the whole
coast is now controlled t>y commissions,
and the “pearl crop” is worth from a
quarter to a million dollars a year,
while the tons of shells exported bring
in more than a million a year.
The largest pearl ever found in these
fisheries was sold to the Emperor of
Austria for SIO,OOO Their yearly out
put is now much larger than it was
before the improvement in diving
bells made it possible for good divers
to go down a hundred feet and stay
for an hour or two. Formerly, when
native divers were employed, they
went down only in water thirty-five
feet deep, and could remain, of course,
but a very short time.
La P«z is the headquarters of the
pearl industiy, a little towc whose
send most of their wares direct
to the great jewel markets of the
woild in London and Paris. There is
always a good deal of romance in the
idea of pearl fishing, since so few
oysters have their pearls. But it is,
after all, rather more of a gambling
business, since chances vary so much.
One traveler says that it develops
the imaginations of the divers. Some
of the oldest ones among them spin
regular fo’castle yarns about their le
markable adventures and hair-breadth
escapes from death at the jaws of a
shark or the tentacles of an octopus.
The demand of the world f r pearls
of great btauty is always in advance
of the supply, and as there is at pre
sent no way of fishing pearls by elec
tricity, the occupation of the human
pearl fi-her, either as diver or yarn
spinner, is nut soon likely to vanish
from the earth
There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment Hall’s Catarrh

MOUNTAIN CLIMBER
A Monster Locomotive for the Lehigh
Valley Railroad
A monster mountain climbing loco
motive, built to ascend the steep
grades of the L high Valley Railroad,
has just been completed al the Bild
wiu Locomotives Works in Philadel
phia This engine, which is claimed
to be the largest locomotive ever con
structed in the United Sates, is
known as a compound consolidation
engine, and weighs 115 tons.
It is s > long that when it was finish
ed it was discovered that it could not
turn the curves of the siding leading
from the shops where it was built to
the main line of the Reading Railroad,
and the workmen were compelled to
jack it up several limes in order to
overcome this unforeseen difficulty
Hundreds of persons vatebed with
great interest this novel work of lifting
it over the curves It has been num
b?red 681, and is guaranteed to pull a
train of 1,000 tons seventeen miles per
hour over the steepest grades of the
Lsbigh Valley. This giant among lo
comotives will use buckwheat coal for
fuel.
Its general dimensions are as fol
lows: The cylinders are 18 inches in
diameter high pressure, and 30 inches
in diameter low pressure. The boiler
is 80 inches in diameter, and contains
511 tubes 2 inches in diameter. There
are four driving wheels on each side,
55 inches in diameter. The boiler and
fire box are of steel, while the total
weight of the engine io pounds is
225,083. This weight added to that of
the tender amounts tj the enormous
total of 346 000 pounds. The tendsr
has a tank capacity of 7,000 gallons,
and the engine is guaranteed to run
for a considerable distance, namely,
from Coxton to Fairview, two stations
on the Lehigh Valley, without taking
water.
When compared with a regulation
locomotive, some idea of the monster
proportions of this giant locomotive
can be obtained. An ordinary shitt
ing engine looks like a child’s toy
when drawn up alongside.
Robbed the Grave-
A startling incident, of which Mr
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite—gradual
ly growing weaker day by day. Three
physicans had given me up. Fortu
nately, a friend advised trying ’Elec
tric Bitters and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made a decid
ed improvement. I continued their
use for three weeks, and am now a
well man. I know they saved my life,
and robbed the grave of another vic
tim,” No one should fail to try them.

John G. Carlisle on the Philippines-
“Such an acquisition would not
strengthen us. On the contrary it
would be a constant drain on our re
sources, without any substantial com
pensation for the outlay. Even when
not in a state of actual insurrectioDj
the people are turbulent, cruel and
unmindful of the rights of person and
property, and it Will require a most
vigilant administration ol the law by
honest and capable officials to preserve
order among them, even in the most
enlightened parts of the island's, while
in some parte it is at least doubtful
whether this can be done at all. Spam

turies and has signally failed Millions
of dollars have been expended and
thousands of lives have been lost in a

Wo have already told how the American
Admiral Dewey, tho victor of Manila,
was writing review articles at 50 francs a
line and that his rival, General Wheeler,
the conqueror of Porto Rico, had received
6,000 francs for his story of his campaign.
Meanwhile Lieutenant Hosborn, the hero
of Santiago, is deriving profit from his
popularity in a much less prosaic way.
He organizes kissing tours throughout the
cities of tho Union.
Every evening ho hires a parlor In a
great hotel and gives out notice that he
will receive all tho married ladies and
young women of tho city. He gives each
one his autograph in exchange for a kiss.
The transatlantic newspapers announce
that ho has just beaten the record In this

Why John Brown Learned to Fight.
There Is an anecdote to the effect that
John Brown, when he was raising sheep
In New York state and missed the choicest
of his stock, wrote to his neighbor, who
was dining on mutton daily, to say that
he had other sheep just as good or better
for eating which he would give the
neighbor, because ho (Brown) was raising
the merinos for wool. His neighbor, hav
ing tho courage of his rascality, thereupon
horsewhipped Brown, who, professing
nonresistanco at that time, made no
trouble. He arrested the thief for assault,
but tho justice of tho peace decided with
the wisdom of Dogberry that if a man
doesn’t resist ho can havo no cause of
complaint. John Brown’s notion of
nonresistanco ended then.—Springfield
Republican.
Danger* of Editorial Work.
“I wag injured, ma’am, by the bursting

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may rus
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get al any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.. for
sample bottle and book telling all about it,
both sent absolutely free by mail. 1
